Steamy Windows

The front windscreen is constantly steaming up, the airflow is not on recirculate etc, so could this be due to the cabin filter needs changing or something else?

If the cabin filter is clogged it seems to make matters worse, also leave the AC on as it dries the air as well as cooling it.

Hi Steve, I shouldn't have to leave the ac on permanently though should I?

Yep, leave it on all the time. Makes virtually no difference to mpg.

I remember this time last year people saying the same thing. It seems to happen to loads of cars when the weather changes in the autumn, no idea why, but round about November it seems to stop, It's always happened on most cars I've owned, and can take ages to clear.

Hi, I had this issue and there was a topic a few weeks ago.

All I can say is that I do not have this problem anymore!!!

Just leave the aircon on and leave it at low speed - This way you can put on cold air or set the temprature up to heat the car in the winter - Problem solved

At first I thought aircon should be off but Normski explained about the dry air and stuff, so point noted and no more steamy windscreen.

same happened to me tonight, put on the air-con and all was good :)
